Jerry Lambert was born December 29, 1940, in Lufkin to William Hayden and Mildred Lavell Modisette Lambert. He passed away March 24, 2026, in Grand Saline.

Jerry spent his early years in Lufkin. He retired as an electrician, and also spent many years as a truck driver, traveling across 48 states. He attended Nazarene Chapel and found great joy in life’s simple pleasures—fishing, and sitting on the front porch, watching the birds and listening to the wind chimes.

Mr. Lambert was preceded in death by his parents; daughter, Deborah Lee; son, Buddy Lambert; brother, Joe Lambert; and sister, Joyce Foster.

Survivors include his wife, Ruthie Lambert of Grand Saline; children, Ouida Jones of Grand Saline, Deidre Smith of Lufkin, Judy Carnes of Grand Saline, Joy Flannery of Grand Saline, Rhonda “Peanut” Becerra of Grand Saline, William Lambert of Lufkin, Jerry Lambert, Jr. of Lufkin, and Stephanie Clifton of Lufkin; grandchildren, Zvi Becerra, and Mia Becerra; and numerous other grandchildren, relatives and friends.

Pallbearers will be Zvi Becerra, Clyde Earl, Martin Becerra, Mia Becerra, David Hill, Mark Smith, Jerry Lambert, Jr., and William Lambert.

Ronald Tucker will serve as an honorary pallbearer.

The family will receive friends one hour prior to services on Friday at the funeral home.
